SWORD

SWORD (Strategic Weapons Organization for Reconnaissance and Defense) is an organization that was initially just the American chapter of the Ivareta, a global organisation devoted to the prevention of dangerous use of the Magnvirn. They were the primary enemies of the Volki. As SWORD grew in the 20th century it eventually superseded and absorbed the Ivareta.

SWORD Galactic Council
The Galactic Council is made up of fifteen representatives from across the Commonwealth, though primarily Terra. It is the successor to the former World and Allied Councils that ruled SWORD during the 20th and early 21st centuries.
